The Theatrical Cut of Grindhouse is coming to Blu-ray!

I refused to buy Grindhouse until it was released on home video like it was in the theaters with the faux trailers spliced and diced in between Planet Terror and Death Proof. High-Def Digest got the goods that the time has finally come for me to watch it the way I saw it over three years ago.

Look for the Blu-ray on October 5.

 ”A double-bill of thrillers that recall both filmmakers’ favorite exploitation films. “Grindhouse” (a downtown movie theater in disrepair since its glory days as a movie palace known for “grinding out” non-stop double-bill programs of B-movies) is presented as one full-length feature comprised of two individual films helmed separately by each director. “Death Proof,” is a rip-roaring slasher flick where the killer pursues his victims with a car rather than a knife, while “Planet Terror” shows us a view of the world in the midst of a zombie outbreak. The films are joined together by clever faux trailers that recall the ’50s exploitation drive-in classics.”
